I have completely skipped Mandrake Linux 9.2 because previous versions of Mandrake Linux were not exactly that "glamorous". However, I wanted to try out the new Linux kernel 2.6.x on my new Linare PC and so I decided to give Mandrake 10.0 Community Edition a spin. Here are
some quick thoughts on it on how MandrakeSoft has earned back my trust with this release.
Update: MadPenguin
reviews it too.
UPDATE 2: More bugs, more bugs. I have changed the rating of the software because as much as I keep using it, I find more and more and more bugs all over the place. MandrakeSoft should REALLY sit down and think hard about their QA department (I have already emailed them about it).
If I were you, I would have gotten a good PPPoE ADSL modem. Personally, it seems faster. A big plus point is those coming with network hubs - brain-dead easy Internet sharing configuration, even on Linux. But regardless, yeah, they should include drivers for at least the more common USB modems - after all, there are drivers out there (though not really sure of their availability for 2.6.x)
